MILESTONE ACCOMPLISHED: Phase 1 of our VX4 flight test programme is complete! During Phase 1 the VX4 conducted multiple piloted tethered flights and ground runs across 20 piloted sorties, completing a total of 70 individual test points with our Chief Test Pilot Justin ‘Jif’ Paines on board. These tests have enabled our team to collect and measure 35,000 flight and system parameters and verify all systems are operating safely and correctly under different conditions. Completing this first phase of testing is a significant feat, and shows the strength of our aircraft, team and partners. We’re now working with the Civil Aviation Authority as we prepare for Phase 2 of testing – thrustborne flight tests. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eudJn2pn
